What is your fav gear?! What puts you back in your seat?

blackcherry20 · 06-26-2012, 07:57 PM

I absolutely love going from 2nd to 3rd-ahh..the power.

What is your favorite? Talk to me!

KERMIT · 06-26-2012, 07:59 PM

maximum wheel torque occurs in first gear, we don't have traction issues either. So first gear it is

ZMan8 · 06-26-2012, 08:01 PM

1st runs out too quickly so it has to be 2nd

MacLean · 06-26-2012, 08:27 PM

Reverse is the best gear & my favorite....... Man you will be in your seat for sure.

For me, the first gear is powerful but too short. The 2nd gear gets most accelaration and fun.

Coming from a Acura TL, all the gears are my favorite but if i had to pick it would be 2nd gear :P

chirping at 2nd-accelerating.....yeah-there it is-3rd-maybe mine is 2nd too. Hard to pick.

axmea? · 06-26-2012, 09:01 PM

It's got to be the shift to 2nd. I love hearing the rear tires screech to 2nd and that long stretch of power before shifting to 3rd! Sounds great from the outside too!

Park.....I seem to get the best gas mileage in that gear...

Actually the worst mileage since you are not even moving =P

Anyway I would also say 2nd gear is my favorite because as others stated first is just too short.
